This simple Shiny app makes use of the UN DESA World Population Prospects 2017 Period Indicators dataset. It produces a choropleth map for the selected period indicator and midperiod from the available 5-year periods starting from 1950-1955 (midPeriod: 1953) to 2095-2010 (midperiod: 2098).
The purpose of the app is to give a visualization of the period indicators for different countries that is easy to comprehend.
The dataset is from the United Nations DESA/Population Division website, and is downloadable from the following site: https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/CSV/

In the choropleth map which will be produced using Plotly, you can hover over a country to view the period indicator data for that country, just like in the map shown below.
